First time here for my husband & myself. It's a great gyro/burger/ hot dog place in my opinion. Not super cheap but nowhere is anymore. Sunday special is a gyro, fries & a drink for $13.95. 2 gyro specials & 2 pizza puffs was $39 & change out the door. First impression of the gyro was that it was a little small but when I picked it up & tried to bite it, my mind was instantly changed. It was good! Nothing spectacular but very good. Just love the fries!! Fat & cooked to perfection!! My husband really liked the pizza puff (I haven't eaten mine yet). He appreciated that it wasn't overcooked but also not cold inside. Bright with plenty of seating room. Business was steady at 5:00 on Father's Day but not packed. Good to note that the girl taking orders actually came out from behind the counter to wipe down tables & pick up garbage. We'll definitely be back to try more menu items!!

Italian beef sandwich with fresh hot fries

Phenomenal place with well seasoned Italian beef. Fries are served pipping hot. Great daily specials!

Ive been here many times since 2017. Their fries is very crispy and tasty. I order their italian beef and in some order days the polish sausage or the gyros. Very tasty. Still wanting to come back.

I remember going to this place when it was Franky's Red Hots. I spoke to the man behind the pick up area. He said the nephew of the original Franky bought it in 1994 and changed the name to Franky's. Today this business has a second location in St. Charles. The menu seems fairly similar to what I remember it as. Tastes the same too. Now, I'm all grown up and living further west. My husband has visited this place once before and he loved the meatball sub. Today he got the gyro which he and our 3.5 year old shared. I got the steak sandwich. We all shared one medium chocolate shake and a regular order of fries. Total was $28. Not too shabby!

The "Size Choice" doesn't need a $$$ option, since $8.75 is the original price before you make the selection and have to pay that AGAIN.

My review is purely off of customer service. I called to inquire about why the DoorDash prices at double what they are in store, now I understand raising the prices to compete with what DoorDash takes - but a 100% increase is costing you business. I am a stay at home mom, and unfortunately we are a one vehicle household - I'd love to utilize Franky's on days I can't cook, as I just moved to the neighborhood, and it's close- and looks great. But I cannot justify a 100% increase when I'm already paying a premium to use a delivery service. Now I totally understand not taking unsolicited advice, but I've managed another local Dupage county restaurant, and the argument that it is out of their hands is simply just lazy. If they took the time to learn how to use the tablet DoorDash provides, they'd realize they can adjust the 100% markup, which is seemingly a mistake - considering it makes you "add" it to the cart twice. Shows $8.75 on the menu and then when you select it, you have a mandatory selection option of another $8.75 - doubling what you're paying. I know exactly how to fix it, but was met with rude service when I tried to offer my free advice to help increase their business. So I'll spend my money elsewhere!

So I was on an architectural survey and wanted something good and local. Since I'm from Columbus,…read morewhere the food can be pretty meh, I figured I'd give this place a shot because the reviews were great. At first, I was disappointed they didn't have Chicago Italian beef. So I asked what they would recommend, and the very polite lady behind the counter said, "You should try my meatball sub." I laughed and told her, "I don't know... my late grandma (100% Italian) made the best meatballs ever, but alright, let's do it." Then she asked, "Do you want peppers?" and of course my reply was, "Heck yeah!" She chuckled. When the sub came out, I have to say, it was huge. I sat down, took one quick smell and a bite... BOOM. I was instantly transported back to my grandma's kitchen, eating Saturday pasta and meatballs. I highly recommend checking this little gem out. The service, the atmosphere, and especially the food were all amazing. I definitely was not disappointed. P.S. Don't skip the desserts -- once again, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the memories and the great experience!

Great little spot for a vegan sandwich or a vegan veggie sandwich…read more However they are way too expensive for a bread and lettuce and tomato sandwich!!! I can get one for a fraction of the price at Subway or make my own!! Ed said that his meatball sandwich was to sloppy and messy We would never return

If you've ever been to Glen Ellyn you know there's a plethora of food options... That being said,…read moreA&Gs is continuously on the top of my list! First off, every single staff member is the friendliest person you'll ever meet! They care about how your day is going, what kind of food you're looking for, and make every stop so personable. Secondly, the shop itself just makes you feel right at home and comforted by the fact that you know you're getting local handmade food! There's a vast menu of pizza and subs that allows you to find something any day of the week that you are craving. Their grab and go selection is also top-notch! Lastly, I can't say enough incredible things about their food!! They have daily deals which make it so financially responsible to just eat there every single day. From half off pizzas to combo deals to 2 subs for $22, you can't go wrong with any choice you make. Your heart and belly will thank you! If you are in the area, or even if you aren't, this is the place to stop by!

The food was terrific and as always, the service was wonderful so I only got good things to say about this place. This is the second time I've had a dinner from there and the food is good.

10/9/26 update: I…read morewas in the mood for these Asian inspired sandwiches. Parking is still the same but can be limited at 12:30 pm. They have more staff working. They have 7 tables and 4 barstools (communal table against the wall). They have two kiosks that you can order from. They have one gender neutral bathroom. We ordered spicy garlic shrimp as a rice paper wrap, Thai pork belly (sandwich), and Sichuan spicy brisket (sandwich). The food was just as excellent as the first time we came here. I'm glad they kept consistent after all these years. Sichuan spicy brisket was a tad bit spicy but nothing overwhelming. The meat in the Thai pork belly was very tender and juicy. The spicy garlic shrimp as a rice paper wrap is a great alternative if you're on a low carb diet or you can't handle gluten.

So glad we happened to be in the area and tried this place for lunch. The restaurant has a very…read moreJapanese feel to it. You place your order on the tablet, there is just one guy working in there who makes the food and places it on the counter. The decor is simple and just right. The food is the best food ever! I had the rice paper wrap with tofu in it. I could only eat half as I was so full. The seasoning on the fries is so good.. and the cucumber salad was top notch. Even the drinks in the cooker area were very interesting that I had never seen before. It's very clear that this is a very well thought out restaurant. The only feedback I would give is to add a couple of options for vegan gluten free in the menu. My wrap had to be customized and communicating with the chef was a bit of a challenge due to language.

I don't know that much about Polish food... but I do know this: U Gazdy serves some of the best…read moreI've ever had, and I'm married into a Polish family, so I don't say that lightly. The place itself is incredibly inviting, all warm wood, cozy corners, very Bavarian lodge meets Polish soul. It was busy and buzzing, and Polish was the main language at nearly every table... except ours, which was happily bilingual in Spanish. It felt authentic, lively, and full of life. The service was friendly, fun, and patient, guiding us through the menu with enthusiasm. We shared a feast: pelmeni, Highlander-style pork shank, kiszka, Real Man's Meatballs (Męskie Klopsiki), and other delicious goodness that made the table groan (in the best way). Every dish was hearty, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. It was also my birthday, and just when I thought the night couldn't get better, the staff surprised me with dessert and sang Happy Birthday in Polish. I loved it. Big smiles, full heart. The food was so good that I stayed behind afterward to order takeout for my husband, stuffed cabbage (gołąbki) and pierogi, because sharing joy is important... and leftovers are sacred. U Gazdy isn't just a meal, it's an experience. One that fills your belly, warms your spirit, and makes you want to come back hungry.

It has pretty good prices on many things. Get lots of meats if you're a carnivore. They also have hot foods like soups and sandwiches. Here is where it's possible to find some of the harder to find Polish ingredients. It has lots of pretty much whatever you can think of whether it's some kind of sausage or some baked goods if you're looking for sweets. They have so much packed into this small store it's hard to believe they fit it all in there. Has a humongous selection of alcohol. There's a lot of Polish beers, and hard stuff. It's $10.59 for some bottles of liquor. They have some really good vodka. As for the food, they have lots of sweet eats. The best of these are the uszatki. It's $1.69 for a bag of iced gingerbreads. These also happen to be vegan. Bread is another popular item. It's $3.99 for a typical big loaf. They have a few including chleb zakwasie. It's like a rye bread. There's also tons of candy and goods. Counter has the meats and typical stuff that's at a deli. It also has lots of hot items. The ingredients on most items here are in English but some aren't so it helps to know Polish.
